说它是玄学也行，说它是正向心理学也罢，一看这些中、英文习语，就知道这些人生智慧都是东、西方文明所共同沉淀拥有的。

1 言语压君子，衣冠镇小人。先敬罗裳后敬人。Clothes make the man. People judge by appearance before they judge by character. It's better to be overdressed than underdressed. 

2 凡事有发生，皆有利于我。做不成的事，指不定是上帝在保佑我。把“我怎么这么倒霉”转换成“这种事情发生了，我能从中学到什么？会给我带来什么好处？” Everything happens for a reason. What doesn’t work out might be a blessing in disguise. 

3 事缓则圆，人缓则安。静为吉之象。哪有那么着急亟待处理的事啊。让子弹飞一会儿。Haste makes waste, and patience brings peace. 

4 学会翻篇。不依不饶，就是画地为牢。Let go, or be dragged. 

5  先调频再做事。拥有向上生命力的时候，才有可能吸引好事发生。花开蝶自来。 Positive mindset attracts good things. Build it and they will come. 

6 物无美恶，过则为灾。凡事皆有度，过犹不及，物极必反。Too much of a good thing can be bad. Everything has its limits. What goes too far will reverse itself. 

7 万般皆是命，半点不由人。每个人都有自己的路要走，不要试图去改变别人，包括你的爱人和孩子。Man proposes, but God disposes. Everything is predestined.
